props for not being able to afford the real deal but still cool as Dizzee Rascal

Eh, very much like the Lamborenzo MR-2, but not as cheap looking. I'd just wait until depreciation smacks those things back down to reality.

That didn't take long! I was wondering how long it would be before someone did that.

Now someone needs to make a replica of the REAL R8...

[Dave]

wow, it as just as hideous as the real one.

and I'd bet it is more reliable.

[Jand3rson]

I wasn't a huge fan of the real one until I saw one in person. I'm still not ga-ga over it, but it's pretty sick.

I would rather have the V12 TDI over the V8 version any day, though.

I think it looks pretty awful, but the R8 is not a car that's easy to make a replica of. To be fair though I hate most replicas that are based on other cars and not made from scratch (basement Countach).

Love the real R8 though.

Quite a few of them hit the streets in my town recently. They look good only on posters IMO. Having enough to spend on R8, I'd get E9 for restoration and M-Power it.

Agreed, saw like 4 of them in person at waterfest felt like they are much smaller then you would think =D Still amazing cars.

also saw the w12-650 gti....WOW that must be one incredible drive

Win for creativity and skill, fail for Mercury Cougar interior.

[xLibelle]

an amazing job!

yet i would never want a crappy version of a real deal, i would rather drive a bad ass performing vehicle that no one knew what it was.

waste of a mercury cougar :(

[shmutzigE30]

[vivalegreg]
